Tacoma Port executives told commissioners Thursday that the West Hylebos facility is expected to handle in excess of 100 million board-feet of timber this year.
A once-moribund business is getting a fresh infusion of capital from the Port of Tacoma after a miraculous rise from its death bed.
The Port of Tacoma Commission this week approved a port plan to spend $1.7 million to upgrade stormwater retention and treatment facilities at the port’s West Hylebos log facility.
The improvements were necessary because the facility, completely idle two years ago, has seen a steep uptick in its business.
